An optional paid service: sign in with your Flowsta Identity to use it. Billed by actual tokens used, against your allowance and metered rates - the app shows the cost of every conversation as you go.

What would a month cost?

An optional paid service, billed per use - no subscriptions, no provider accounts. You sign in with your Flowsta Identity.

Estimate only, assuming 3 input tokens per output token, at the catalog's current per-million-token rates.

Privacy

Online models see only what you choose to send. You sign in with your Flowsta Identity - created by you, kept in your own Flowsta Vault, 24 words as the key - so there is no provider account behind your requests: they reach the provider with no identity attached. Your Own AI keeps your conversation history, memory, and documents on your device, and attachments only go online with your explicit consent - the app asks. License: MIT (open weights, served via API) (terms).

Is my data used to train GLM-5.3?

Is GLM-5.3 open source?
The weights are published under the MIT license - this catalog serves it as a hosted API for speed, and you can run open models like it locally with Your Own AI's offline catalog.
